Waffle Cone & Ice Cream Bowl Maker- Cup Press & Shaper Roller, 8" Plates

I can't believe I waited so long to get one of these. The cones are the best, they are fresh and tasty. Now about the product, it is kind of cheaply made, but it does the job. I find that if you use a small ladle to pour the batter and use the back of the ladle to smooth out the mixture works best. You can increase the size of the cone by swirling the batter to the outer edges. You do have to make sure it is spread evenly or some of your cones will be thin in some areas. The recipe it comes with is excellent, I saw no need to change it. If you are using the bowl maker you have to make sure you do not make the waffle to big or it won't fit. If you want a bigger bowl you can use a tortilla bowl mold and press the cone in that to shape it. You do have to cook the cone longer the the green light indicates to get the excess moisture out. Judge your time accordingly so that you don't burn the cone. Rolling the cones takes a little practice, but this is not a cooking show so just have fun. I had no problems with this item and would recommend it. Be sure to read the manual and use a silicone spatula.

Best gadget purchase for the kitchen!

This is okay for occasional home use and worth the price, but the batter doesn't spread evenly. The back side is thin and the front is thick. It is very non-stick though. I used some cooking spray a couple times, but it didn't seem necessary.

My boys and I have not had and ice cream cone in eight years! I used the recipe that came with the unit, replaced the flour with King Arthur’s measure for measure and… PERFECTION!!! They don’t cook perfectly even as some have stated. I can live with that. With just under 1/4 cup of batter for each cone (or bowl) I was able to get 7 cones with my first recipe. I will say rolling those cones will burn your fingers, but it was still kind of fun for this gal whose first job back in 1988 was TCBY! Bringing back the memories.

By looking at the reviews on here it seems to be hit or miss or if you will get a good one. Mine, like many other people, heated up way more in the back (some people said or showed the side). Different people show photos of things more cooked in the center. Another person showed a broken one with the heating element on the top being a coil. This means that the thin metal has a heating element on the bottom that is attached on the side and depending on how they install it the hot spot moves around. I tried so many times to make this work and mine is junk. The back was also too tight so every time I closed it just the weight of the lid squeezed out all the batter from the front making a mess. This on top of my hot spot being in the back made it so that the back hall was paper thing and burnt to a crisp and the front was like a raw pancake.

We purchased this year ago during Prime Day and it got packed away in a box without ever being used since my family thought we would be moving for work. While going through old boxes, I found it in the box and was very excited to try it, after reading all the fantastic reviews. Even though it had been a few years since we purchased it, everything still looked perfect and we decided to give it a shot. At first, everything seemed perfect. It cleaned up well and worked well when making waffle cones. The burner could sometimes be uneven in its cooking, but we learned to quickly adjust around it. This is the main reason I am giving it a three-star review. The back end of the heating plate just massively overheats, and it is hard to compensate for it, but we did our best by counting by the seconds (110 seconds was perfect, but if you waited 120, you would have part of it burned). It seemed decent for the size and money, so we put it more as a cheap gimmick that was worth the Prime Day price. While the recipe was absolutely amazing, the part for making waffle bowls was a joke. It was far too small for the unit size of the waffle it made, and it cracked as soon as it was touched, making it useless for ice cream. Again, for a cheap gimmick, it wasn't bad but probably not really worth it unless you get it cheap ($20 or less).

I have a few expensive specialty cookie irons, but decided to give this cone maker a try. Boy, am I glad I did! It makes terrific cones with the included recipe. I was able to make a perfect cone in about 2 minutes with no issues with the batter sticking. This machine performs better than one of my fancy imported irons that cost 4 x as much and sticks anything I bake in it like chewing gum. This iron was easy to use, easy to clean and does not take up much room. Along with making waffle cones and bowls, I'll be using it to make Dutch stroopwafels.

I did a lot of reviews before I settled on a cone maker, let's face it, totally a luxury item that probably nobody has room for in their kitchen. It's everything they said it was! I make keto sugar free waffles with almond flour and flax, nothing sticks, however I do wipe a light coating of oil in the beginning and after a couple of cones being made. They turn out perfect, but not as crisp as the ones with a cane sugar sweetener, so I put them in the oven for 30 minutes on 200 and they are beautiful! I recommend this product especially if you want to make alternative sugar free or grain free cones. Everyone loves an ice cream cone, especially in the heat of summer. A worthy luxury kitchen accessory.

I want to replace it .. not long time life and commercial ..

Great waffle baskets.

Not bad for my first try, 2 mins as recommended in the manual makes cone darker, center is lighter colour, needs to check halfway. Plate grooves need to be a little deeper to make that waffle lines visible. Recipe is recommendable, thick batter makes thick cones, thinner batter makes thinner cones. In total I can recommend this product just for home use or small batch.

Quedan buenísimos, solo que aveces se bate un poco pero esta padrisimo y super barato

I purchased this a little sceptical, however the cone waffle maker worked great. I used this for making stroopwafels and they came out perfect. The only negatives are that the product has a UK plug adaptor rather than a hard wired plug. Also the white plastic around the sides discoloured in use which was disappointing.
